should the MMDA's Traffic Coding Scheme be removed permanently?

[swordsman]

Remove it. Useless na. Everyone has got a back-up car nowadays. Ganun din.

correction po sir sa generalization nyo. minus one po sa Everyone, i'm one of those unfortunate few na walang back-up car.

[shadow]

para sa akin ok lang kung hinde alisin, ok rin lang kung remove, but siguro I might sound unfair pero kung sakaling alisin, dapat iretain sa mga public vehicle, dahil PUV naman most of the time ang laging nasa street, unlike private cars, ginagamit lang ang roads dahil meron pupuntahan then park na for the whole day...

REMOVE 2X OVER

RESEARCH (feasability study)

REPLACE (tsikoteers have good ideas- MMDA should consult this thread)

[gearspeed]

Kung possible lang sana gumawa sila ng law na 1 or 2 tsikot lang ang pwede sa isang family then kapag 18 years old na dun na bumili ng isa pa..Tulad ng may nabasa ako na dito sa tsikot na lalo lang nila pinararami ang mga tsikot dahil sa coding na yan instead na mabawasan lalo lang dadami dahil bibili lang sila ng tsikot para sa alternate dun sa coding nila na tsikot..Ang problem lang ay yun may mga funds na madami..hehe..
Pero may time nagtataka ako bakit kapag thursday ang luwag ng roads kahit sa may alabang zapote rd ang luwag pakiramdam ko ang dami bumibili ng 7 and 8 na last plate number.

i think "by road" dapat ang implementation ng coding, not "by city"... that is, certain roads lang na talagang super congested ang dapat may coding. meron din namang roads sa makati na di masyado mabigat sa traffic di ba? dapat such roads should be exempted (as to how it can be implemented, i believe if there's a will, there's way..)

but then again, alam naman natin kung sino kumikita sa coding sa makati eh.. di lang sa coding, dami pa raket, sa kanya rin bagsak ng kita..

to add.. it seems stupid na certain roads you can't enter kasi lagpas na sa boundary ng non-coding and coding "city".. example is sa ortigas ave. going to edsa. pag lampas mo lang sa tapat ng meralco (part of non-coding pasig) papuntang edsa, may naghihintay na sa plaka mo lang nakatingin.. kalokohan di ba?

[XTO]

removed! dahil napakaraming mga exempted na hindi naman dapat!

kawawa ang mga walang kapit or whatever

[oliver1013]

Tanggalin o magbawas ng bus. Andaming walang laman nakabalandra sa nepa Q pag gabi. Sayang sa space

[theveed]

Wala din akong backup car, but fortunately, my route is always Pasig (both office and home), Marikina (in laws), Cainta...

All 3 aren't affected by "coding" hehe.

Remove color coding scheme.

-Implement new regulations on mass transport and lessen busses (of course, chances of this happening is nil kasi dun nila nakukuha yung boto...).

-Deprives one's use of personal property even if one pays road tax through fuel prices.

-Shows that the metropolis cannot handle the volume of traffic effectively.

-Restrictions create more loopholes--people cover plates, tint them, cut the last numbers, fold them, or replace with non-coding for that day just to get by. More violations emerge.

Replacement for this? Cut the public lanes to a smaller fraction of the road, remove the barriers dahil it also eats up space, create new regulations for public transport para more strict sa kanila (forces them to be more efficient kaysa sa mag-agawan)...

REMOVE THE UVVRP!

Honestly, I'd substitute something else for PUV drivers who wantonly and recklessly violate traffic laws...castration! Tignan ko kung di tumino ang mga lekat na 'yan. If that's too harsh, let's do a Singapore and give them 10 lashes with a cane for each violation.

Remove the scheme and Binay, para magawa na ng maayos ni BF ung trabaho nya.

Saka dapat maganda ung connection ng MMDA sa City Mayors, DPWH, DOTC, LTO and LTFRB.

100% AGREE!

[IMm29]

to aid in traffic flow, i think the MMDA should also rethink their strategy on yellow lanes and u-turn slots. yellow plates on yellow lanes, huh? eh ang numero unong nawawala sa mga yellow lanes eh yung mga naiinip na naka-yellow plate.

Retain...

Dito sa Commonwealth Ave, ramdam mo talaga kung na-lift yung color coding, sobrang dami ng sasakyan. Parusa talaga every rush hour

OT: Bakit "kepted" yung nakalagay dun sa Poll Bar? There's no such word. Either "Kept" or "Retained" dapat

I think the color coding scheme should stay because it really helps in easing and lessenin the traffic. Parang last summer, when there was no color coding, sobrang traffic sa binondo and tondo area... madalas mag-traffic jam.

that's true but maybe if people stayed in the proper lane, gave way when other motorists use their signal lights, and stopped using the middle of the street as a puv terminal, we wouldn't need the color coding scheme. the problem with color coding is that its a reactive approach to the traffic situation, instead of taking the proactive approach of implementing rules and regulations meant to ease traffic flow in the first place.

Does anyone realize na a new source of income has to be devised if the Coding system is abolished?

REMOVED!!!

1. It's undemocratic if you can't use your car whenever you please/need to.

2. Because of second cars at the disposal of several motorists, the intention of alleviating traffic won't be effectively carried out. Coding is meant for one motorist to use his/her car on 4 out of 5 weekdays. But if this person has an extra vehicle, he/she is still seen on the road on 5 weekdays. Obviously, this doesn't reduce vehicular count. Additionally, coding is a pro-rich scheme (self-explanatory).

3. Like some of you said, our public transportation isn't organized. In many other countries, many people, even some of the rich ones, prefer commuting over bringing their own car. Their transport systems are safe and convenient, and none of those apply here. I even heard from a friend that a person unfamiliar with commuting got held-up and murdered by a taxi driver during the day his car was coding. It's certainly possible, and many criminals will take advantage as long as coding is enforced.

4. Speaking of criminals, many traffic enforcers, especially in the CBD, make a business out of coding. Victims obviously choose to bribe the apprehending officer than surrendering license and accepting a ticket that costs at least twice the kotong. They also save themselves of the hassle of claiming their licenses.
